Barons snap streak with long ball

MONTGOMERY -- Justin Cassel returned to form and Jordan Danks returned to the lineup as the Barons snapped a three-game losing streak, opening a road trip with a 10-3 rout of the Montgomery Biscuits Saturday night at Riverwalk Stadium.

Cassel picked up his first Double-A win since a mid-2008 promotion to Charlotte and the Barons knocked out three home runs.

Danks, in his first game off the disabled list, led Birmingham with three hits including his fourth home run. Also homering were Javier Colina and David Cook, the latter reclaiming the Southern League lead with his 17th.
